the Cathedral of Volterra, the Baptisterium and the Museum are not covered by the Volterra card, but ask for a separate ticket (7 Euro p.p.). the cathedral is under reconstruction outside. inside there was not all too much worth visiting.

Cathedral of Volterra is the most important religious building in this town, a medieval one in Tuscany Region, in the center of Italy. The old town is wonderful, but this Duomo (cathedral) is really normal, it has nothing especial and it is located in the old town, but not in the main square. It is ok, if you walk around city center, but there are a lot of streets/buildings better.

lovely little church in this beautiful town. Does not take long to look around it but worth a visit when you are in the town.

Visiting Siena for a few hours to browse the shops, sites and have lunch. The cathedral exterior is amazing the detail exquisite. Had a brief look inside no time left to do a tour but well worth seeing if only from the outside.

The Duomo, or Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta, is not as spectacular as are some other cathedrals in this part of the country. It was built in the early 12th century in a Romanesque style with a familiar bands of black and white marble and currently is under a restoration, so we couldn’t enter inside the building itself.

As we strolled through the old city of volterra it's a sence of calmness. We came across the cathedral and wondered in to find it beautifully done inside .trying to think how much time and effort went into is beyond me

There are many churches in Volterra all worth visiting and although this Duomo is not perhaps as spectacular as in other Tuscan cities it is beautiful and unspoilt and well worth visiting.

The Romanesque church was rebuilt after the earthquake of 1117 that destroyed most of the town and is located in Piazza San Giovanni. Interior is interesting with alabaster figures and burial vault are beautiful. There are some important paintings and five wooden polychromed figures (the Deposition) is considered to be the finest of its type in all of Tuscany.

Another piece of the art and history of the people of Volterra. Beautiful old building at its place in the Piazza near the baptistery. Walk around the Duomo to enjoy all the art and workmanship.

Credo di sì, ma senza flash. Comunque ricorda di chiedere il permesso ai custodi, qualora ce ne siano.
